Mike has been cycling almost as long as he can remember. From the very first day when he grabbed that training-wheel-less Schwinn and took off, bikes have been a fundamental part of his life. He's raced mountain bikes, road bikes and even done a bit of touring. Mike has explored the roads and trails of the Front Range for the last 14 years.

They address transportation concerns and cycling access all across the state and sponsor cycling events as well. I know, I'm asking you to go check out the sites of organizations that just want our money. True, but Bicycle Colorado really does quite alot for cyclists whether they know it or not And one of the coolest ways they've come up with to raise money is the Share The Road license plate!
